Award-nominated musician Rae Spoon is making a bold statement this Pride Month with their cover of Garth Brooks' iconic anthem "Friends in Low Places," reimagining the country classic through a distinct lens. The single, available on all streaming platforms today, marks Spoon's return to their country music roots with a contemporary twist.
Trailblazing non-binary artist Rae Spoon boldly reclaims country music with their Pride Month release of Garth Brooks' anthem "Friends in Low Places"—a genre-defying statement that brings up important questions like: “Have you ever been the problem queer at a wedding?”. A two-time Polaris Prize nominee, Lambda Literary Award nominee, and founder of Coax Records, Spoon's work consistently centers Disability justice, and transgender visibility.
With twelve albums spanning folk, country, indie rock, and electronic genres, Spoon's artistic evolution enters a new phase with this single, kicking off their Hyper Country era. This project will challenge conventional country music narratives while reconnecting with the genre's often overlooked LGBTQ and Disabled history, expanding its boundaries through a contemporary lens. Stay tuned for more.
